How to Work Cache Memory


Static Ram (Cache memory)
  • The CPU Process data at a very high speed
  • Dynamic RAM cannot match that speed
  • hence, a special type of RAM Called as cache is used.
  • Cache memory stores instructions and data which the CPU is currently working on or may soon need.
  • Cache Levels:
-The cache memory that is placed inside the actual CPU is called level 1 cache (Internal cache memory)

-The cache memory located on the die of the CPU is called as level 2 cache (External cache memory)
